You have a good point, about 2 stoke oil leaving a film.It does get lean and rev , but only for a very brief moment 1.5 to 2 secs. then it dies. At 100 mph their may be a danger. At idle their is not. Their is still enough oil in the fuel laying around in the crank, and modern oils will hold a film on the cyl. for longer than a couple of secs. anyway. Still their is no need to drain the carb. every time you stop. Shutting off the fuel at the tank after killing the engine is quite sufficient. Like Mantis I am not a big fan of the dellorto clones. I'ts hard to find the sweet spot where they will both run well and idle well. The stock nt performs as well with less tuning problems.
And I had the same issue with the Delorto clones. I had one that ran fine, but would not idle, it just revved out really bad. The other one had a nice, smooth idle speed, but bogged out when you opened the throttle. And I never did get either one of them to run right.
